Nice eagle BIFs you got there, Mike!

Hi Nick,

thanks

I like the feather detail shots, but I really like the framing where the mountains show some perspective where these majestic birds live. Not sure from what aspect you're shooting in that one but that looks like it could be Longs Peak behind Meeker.

One of those images that when 1st viewed I was wishing I had more than 250mm reach.  Then I cropped it some (freeehand, no aspect ratio) from 18 to 12 mp  and liked that effect.

I hope you get to see some little eaglets soon! From how small they start out, it's amazing how fast they grow in size and weight in a short amount of time.

The pair's nest location is about a mile away,on private property,  and there are many branches blocking the view of it.  National Geographic has a good eagle video that I enjoy watching showing the eagle's challenges of raising babies.

thanks for looking and your feedback,

Mike
